A dull or chipped tub in Big Bend does not need a demolition crew. It needs one technician, one day and a sprayed finish that shines.
One number reaches the technician who would hold the gun. The figure comes on the call, not after a visit.
(866) 951-0558The voice on the line belongs to the trade, not to a switchboard reading a script. Two minutes of plain description are enough to price a standard tub.
Your old tub looks downright depressing with all those ugly stains and tiny scratches staring back at you every single morning. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition job just to get a clean, shiny place to wash up. Our specialized local team comes right to your home to spray a durable, glossy new protective coating over your existing fixtures so they look brand new again.
By choosing this smart update, you skip the massive headaches of traditional remodeling like dealing with loud hammers or waiting weeks for plumbers. Instead, you get a sparkling, smooth finish in just a single day while keeping your hard-earned money in your wallet. If you want to see how affordable this transformation is, we would love to give you a free project estimate today.
Many homeowners assume that buying a cheap new basin at the local home improvement warehouse is the easiest way to solve their cosmetic bathroom woes. However, they quickly realize that the actual purchase price of the fixture is only a tiny fraction of the total bill. Once you start tearing out the old unit, you inevitably break surrounding wall tiles, disturb ancient plumbing pipes, and create heaps of dusty debris.
Which means a simple weekend project quickly spirals into a multi-week nightmare that leaves your family without a usable shower. On top of that, those modern budget replacements are often made of flimsy plastic that flexes under your feet and feels cheap. Keeping your original heavy-duty cast iron or thick steel unit is almost always the superior choice for long-term durability.
This lets you preserve the character of your classic home while upgrading the surface to a state of modern cleanliness. Our professional application process bonds a high-tech liquid acrylic directly to your prepped fixture, sealing away years of grime. You get to enjoy a gorgeous, revitalized wash space that feels incredibly fresh without the stress of a major construction zone.
To help you understand how we achieve such a mirror-like shine, let us break down the exact steps we take when we visit your home. First, we thoroughly clean the area with specialized industrial cleaners to strip away stubborn soap scum, body oils, and old mineral deposits. After that, we carefully repair any deep chips, rust spots, or cracks with a heavy-duty waterproof filler so the foundation is completely flat.
Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like molecular velcro to fuse the old enamel with our new coating. We then spray several thin, even layers of premium acrylic urethane using high-volume, low-pressure equipment to prevent any runs or drips. Finally, we let the material cure into a rock-hard shield that resists impact and stays beautiful for many years to come.
| Project Aspect | Traditional Replacement | Our Advanced Coating Service |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very High (often $3,000 - $6,000) | Extremely Budget-Friendly |
| Time Required | One to two weeks of messy chaos | Finished in just a few hours |
| Demolition Mess | Tons of drywall dust and broken tile | Zero structural destruction |
When you invest in this smart home upgrade, you will immediately notice how much easier your weekly bathroom chores become. Because the new non-porous surface has no tiny microscopic pores for dirt to hide in, mold and mildew cannot grip onto it. This means you can finally say goodbye to harsh chemical scrubbers and painful hands-and-knees cleaning sessions.
All you need is a quick wipe with a mild dish soap and a soft sponge to keep that brilliant luster alive. Naturally, this saves you precious time and keeps harmful fumes out of your household air. Your daily shower routine will feel much more relaxing when you are surrounded by a spotless, gleaming white surface.
Additionally, this service significantly boosts the overall appeal of your property if you ever decide to put it on the market. Potential buyers always inspect bathrooms closely, and a clean, updated wash area suggests that the entire home has been meticulously maintained. You get to enjoy this visual upgrade today while securing a great return on your investment down the road.
We are incredibly proud to serve the friendly homeowners of Waukesha County, including everyone living in the lovely village of Big Bend, Wisconsin. With a local population of around 1,286 residents and a healthy median household income of $80,893, people in this area truly value quality craftsmanship and honest work. We know how much pride you take in maintaining your property, whether you live near the Fox River or closer to the highway.
Since we operate right here in the 53103 ZIP code area, we can easily drive over to your house to take a look at your project. We understand the local water conditions, which can sometimes be hard on plumbing fixtures, causing unsightly orange rust stains and mineral buildup. Our tough coatings are specially designed to withstand these local challenges, ensuring your basin remains bright and pristine.
Because we are your actual neighbors, we treat your home with the exact same respect we would show to our own families. We never leave a mess behind, and we always take the time to answer every single one of your questions before we start spraying. Supporting local businesses keeps our community strong, and we love helping our neighbors save money while beautifying their homes.
Once our team finishes the job and leaves your home, keeping that finish looking like a glossy mirror is incredibly simple. You must avoid abrasive scouring powders, steel wool, or bleach-heavy cleaners, as these harsh products can slowly dull the protective topcoat. Instead, stick to gentle liquid cleaners or even natural vinegar solutions to safely wipe away any daily water spots.
Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet bath mats with suction cups sticking to the bottom of the basin for long periods. These suction cups can trap water underneath them, which puts unnecessary stress on the newly bonded acrylic layer over time. Taking these quick, easy precautions ensures your beautiful surface stays sparkling and smooth for up to a decade or even longer.
If you ever have any questions about a specific cleaning product, you can always give our friendly team a quick call for advice. We want you to get the absolute most out of your freshly coated fixture, and we are always here to help you protect your investment. With just a tiny bit of proper care, your bathroom will continue to look like a high-end spa day after day.
There is absolutely no reason to spend another day looking at an ugly, discolored, or chipped basin when a simple solution is right here. Our friendly crew is ready to bring our specialized equipment straight to your doorstep to deliver a flawless, durable finish you will love. We make the entire process completely stress-free, from our initial conversation to the moment you step into your shiny new shower.
Why wait to give your home the beautiful update it deserves when we can get started with a completely free, no-obligation cost estimate? We will sit down with you, evaluate the current state of your fixtures, and explain exactly how we can restore them to their former glory.

Three quiet stages carry the whole result. They are also the ones nobody sees in the after photo.
Stage 1 of 3
A reglaze fails or lasts on what happens before the gun comes out. The old surface gets scrubbed of soap film and silicone, etched or primed so the new material has something to grip, then wet sanded until it feels like fine paper. Skip any of that and the prettiest coat in the world lets go within a year, which is exactly the story most peeling tubs tell us.
Stage 2 of 3
Chips, rust blooms and worn drain rings are ground back to sound material and rebuilt with polyester filler, then sanded flush until a fingertip cannot find the spot. Coating over damage only photographs well on day one; a repair you cannot feel is what keeps the finish honest for years.
Stage 3 of 3
The topcoat goes on in fine sprayed passes with an extractor pulling air out the window the whole time. Sprayed layers flow together into one even skin, which is why the result reads as gloss rather than as paint. Brushes and rollers leave the texture that gives cheap refinishing its reputation.
Three real ways out of a worn tub. We only do the first one, so the other two columns are simply what we would tell a friend.
| The question | Reglazing in place | Acrylic liner | Full replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| What a standard tub costs | $350 to $800 | $1,600 to $4,000 | $3,000 to $10,000 once walls and plumbing join in |
| Bathroom out of action | One day, then the cure | Weeks of lead time, then a fitting day | One to two weeks of trades |
| Demolition involved | None at all | None, but the old tub is sealed inside | Walls opened, floor patched, debris hauled |
| Honest life expectancy | Five years and up when cared for | Long, unless water creeps between the shells | Decades |
| Watch out for | Prep shortcuts by cut-rate crews | A spongy feel and hidden moisture | The budget doubling mid-project |
If your tub is cracked through, actively leaking underneath, or you simply want a different fixture, reglazing is the wrong tool, a verdict you will hear on the very first call.
Pass 1
Soap scum, silicone and old wax stripped, then the surface etched or bonded so the coating can bite.
Pass 2
Every ding ground out, filled and sanded flush. The repairs disappear under the coating instead of through it.
Pass 3
Tile, faucet, floor and glass papered off. Overspray lands on masking paper, never on grout or chrome.
Pass 4
Primer, then gloss coats laid on in thin passes until the surface reads as one poured skin.
Pass 5
The finish hardens on its own clock, 24 to 48 hours. We tape the door and leave the tub in peace.
Pass 6
Old caulk goes out with the old finish. A new mildew-resistant bead seals tub to tile on the way out.
A reglazed tub is your old tub wearing a professional coating. That is a fine thing to be, as long as everyone knows it going in.
A sprayed acrylic urethane skin, bonded to prepared porcelain, steel or fiberglass. It is smooth, glossy, warm to the touch and fully waterproof. Done properly it gives five years and more of daily service, and plenty of our tubs sail well past that with nothing but gentle cleaning.
It is not factory enamel fired onto iron at kiln temperatures, and no honest refinisher will tell you otherwise. It can be scratched by grit, dulled by harsh powders and lifted by standing water in a spot where caulk has failed. It is a durable coating, not a new tub, and it is priced like one.
Two minutes
ZIP, what the tub is made of, what bothers you about it. Said out loud it goes faster than typing, and a photo can follow later if the case is odd.
The same call
The technician who would do the work asks his questions and names a firm figure for a standard job, then confirms it in writing before any van is booked.
You set the date
One van, one technician, drop cloths from the front door to the bathroom. Water off for nothing; only the tub is out of service.
Most of that day
Damage filled and sanded, the room masked, extractor running, then the primer and gloss coats go on in thin, even passes.
24 to 48 hours
The finish hardens untouched, the new caulk bead goes in, and you run the first bath knowing exactly what was done and what to expect of it.
| What we quote | Typical range | Reading the number |
|---|---|---|
| Standard bathtub, reglazed complete | $350 - $800 | Clean, etch, repairs, sprayed gloss and fresh caulk. |
| Chip or rust repair alone | $150 - $300 | When the finish is sound and only one wound needs closing. |
| Clawfoot tub, inside and out | $700 - $1,300 | Two surfaces, more masking, and paint-grade feet if you wish. |
| Shower pan or base | $300 - $550 | Same process on the floor you stand on every morning. |
| Caulk renewal with the job | $90 - $180 | Old bead cut out, mildew-resistant line laid in. |
| Small job minimum | around $250 | The van, the materials and the cure time exist even for tiny work. |
Heavy previous coatings that must be stripped, unusual colors and badly pitted iron push a job toward the top of its bracket. The written price reaches you before the van is even loaded, and it holds.
Ventilation is not a courtesy, it is part of the job. The extractor runs from the first solvent wipe to the last sprayed pass, pulling air out the window instead of through your hallway, and the technician wears supplied air even when the household has gone out for the day. By the evening the bathroom smells like a bathroom again.
The materials are the professional two-part systems made for this trade, mixed fresh on site, never the single-can kits sold next to the paint rollers. It is the difference between a finish that cures into a hard skin and one that stays soft enough to peel at the drain within a season, and it is most of the reason our work carries a written workmanship promise against peeling and loss of adhesion.
And the schedule respects the cure. We tell you in writing when the tub goes back into service, 24 hours for most jobs and 48 for the cautious ones, because handing a family a beautiful surface and letting them ruin it that same night helps nobody. If anything in our workmanship lets go early, the technician comes back and makes it right without a discussion about whose fault the water was.
Strong while spraying, gone surprisingly fast. The extractor vents the room to the outside for the whole job around Big Bend, so the rest of the home stays livable, and by the next morning the odor has left with the fumes. Pregnant households and bird owners get the frank version of this talk before booking.
Between 24 and 48 hours after the final coat, and the exact time is written on the paperwork you keep. The first bath is not a gamble; it is a date.
Any color. The most common request is retiring an avocado, pink or almond tub to white, and the coating is tinted before it is sprayed, so the new color is in the material rather than painted over it.
Yes. The prep changes, the primer changes, the result reads the same. Fiberglass with soft, flexing spots gets extra reinforcement talk first, because coating a moving floor is how warranties die.
Now the old coating comes fully off, which is honest work we price plainly, and then the job proceeds as if the tub had never been touched. Peeling almost always means the first crew skipped the etch or sprayed over silicone, not that your tub rejects coatings.
Five years is the floor we are comfortable promising out loud, not the ceiling. With soft cleaners, no standing mats and caulk kept sound, these finishes routinely serve a decade. What we refuse to do is whisper twenty and hope you lose our number.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
